Here in my village, no blessings are offered in the local parish church, but on the eve of San Antón people light bonfires to later jump over the coals (which is done on San Juan in many other parts of Spain).
It's olive harvest time, and the thin branches that fall off the trees burn hot and fast.
My 13-year-old is already taller than his father...
Happy San Antón!
What a great tradition. Do you live in a farming community?
ResponderEliminarYes, mostly cereal and olive trees, although there is also a sheep & goat farm, and lots of the old-timers keep chickens. You can see our village on google maps (Layos, Toledo), and I wrote a post about the olive harvest last year (Olive Garden), but I just checked on it and the photos are gone. I'll have to fix that. So frustrating.
